| ___________________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 5:15pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] could be worse.. could have fuckin Kadahfi as our supreme ruler bombing the shit out of our cities |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 5:23pm - hauptpflucker ""] Some juicy snippets but the fake call doesn't' seem as damming (in transcript form at least) as people make it out to be. The closest thing is when the gov admits to considering planting "trouble makers". Other than that he just sounds like an ignorant Reagan loving "republican" not particularly evil and tyrannical... |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 5:24pm - hauptpflucker ""] Although he does clearly want to impress mister "koch" |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 5:27pm - Alx_Casket ""] worse? imagine trolling Kadahfi and then playing back the phone conversation to your friends. words could not describe the win... |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 5:28pm - bobnomaamrooney ""] It's damning in that it lays bare how deep in the Koch's pocket this tool is. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 5:30pm - hauptpflucker ""] What's up Kadahfi it's'a your buddy Berlusconi, how are things a'going with'a your little revaolution? |

True, I guess I'm just a bit cynical. It's not really that surprising to me that a politician would want to bend over backwards to buddy up to a rich dude. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 9:51pm - TheRidersofDoom ""] The rich have owned this country even before the revolution all that has changed is the nationality and the level of rights has risen, but as a class we are still far behind the rich in rights. They have more rights because they own the courts, police, and lawyers. I guess James Connolly of the Easter rising said it best, an English boss is a monster and Irish one even worse, which we could apply to today in saying that a tyrant is evil but even worse is a man pretending to be of the people and representing them for he is harder to fight against. we can haz global revolutions now? |
| ______________________________ [Feb 24,2011 12:26am - PTF ""] If he was so in the Koch's pocket, wouldn't he recognize the dude's voice? |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 24,2011 7:50am - hauptpflucker ""] The fact that he goes out of his way to impress someone he thinks is Koch thats damning. I don\'t think a close personal relationship (close enough to recognize a voice over phone) and being in someones pocket is the same thing. It also suggests this Gov is a bit dimwitted. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 24,2011 9:33am - arkquimanthorn ""] plain and simple, the governor won't budge on the issue, threatens those representatives in the state house who oppose him by withholding paychecks or worse, won't listen to the people, and works for Koch. |
